Judges ProfileS Nigel Worth I showed my first dog in 1957 at the age of 7 a GSD. I continued to show and breed GSDs until the early 70s. I got my first Gundog, an English Setter in 1975. I showed Setters and Pointers with some success until I bought my first WSS in 1988. My wife and I also owned and campaigned the first UK Champion Bichon Frisé. We now have 1 ESS and 4 WSS, including Top WSS Dog 2008 and our young bitch who gained her title at 21 months and finished 2011 as Joint Top CC winning WSS bitch. Her first litter has produced an Aus Ch and we are currently campaigning her son and daughter. I award CCs in English Setters, WSS, IWS and Clumber Spaniels. I am also passed to judge the Gundog Group at Championship Show level. I am on a number of Gundog breed A3 and B Judging Lists. Lynda Adams My first dog was a Dalmatian, then a rescue Weimaraner, which I showed at Companion Shows. Then I bought a Weimaraner to show properly. She earned a RCC. Then along came Oscar (Sh Ch Ansona Murphy) who amassed 15 CCs and 30 RCCs. My first GSP was Sh Ch Barleyarch Atlantic who gained 4 CCs and 4 RCCs. Then along came Sh Ch Barleyarch Arun with 24 CCs and 23 RCCs with a BIS at GBAS in 2007. I went back to Weims again with Sh Ch Ansona Gamemaster who won 7 CCs and 7 RCCs and then returned to GSPs with Sh Ch Barleyarch Duncan who has won 15 CCs and 20 RCCs. I then got my first Pointer, Sh Ch Ansona Simple Simon who won 5 CCs and 10 RCCs and was Top Puppy 2010. After 25 years I now award CCs in Weims and GSPs, I am on the A3 list for Pointers and B list for Hungarian Vizslas. I have judged all Gundog breeds at Open shows, including groups and BIS. Penny Gayler I have owned Golden Retrievers since 1978. I started showing in the 90s. My dogs have gained 7 Stud Book numbers, 1 CC and 4 RCCs. I also work my dogs and have achieved the Show Gundog Working Certificate and Working Gundog Certificate with them. I am on KCAB scheme. I am on the C list for GRC of Wales, GRC of Scotland, Yorkshire GRC and Southern GRS and the B list for Eastern GRC. Jennifer Macara I was first introduced to Gordon Setters in 2000 and was captivated by their mischievous but delightful loving and loyal personalities. I was very excited to live with my first Gordon Setter in 2004, she was not a show girl although her litter brother and sister which were owned by my husband and mother in law both became Show Champions, this special litter initiated my love for this breed! I started showing in 2008 at Open and Championship shows and now enjoy being part of campaigning a Gordon Setter who was Top Puppy in 2014 and a Pointer. I am a committee member of the Land of Burns Canine Club and enjoy assisting at the weekly ringcraft training class in addition to helping to organise our Open Show. I am delighted to be given the opportunity to judge this wonderful breed.

Angus Macara I have been involved showing Gordon Setters at championship level for over 25 years. Over the years I have had the pleasure of owning 5 dogs which became Show Champions and an International Champion. Two of the Show Champions I bred along with my mother. I have also been very lucky to handle friends dogs to their titles and top awards. In addition to Gordon Setters I have also owned, bred and shown Pointers and Min Smooth Dachshunds and owned and shown American Cocker Spaniels. I started judging in 1998 and over the years I have judged a variety of different Gundogs breeds at Open Shows and awarded CCs in Gordon Setters for the first time in 2010. I have now awarded CCs on 3 different occasions. Christine Schofield I was born into a doggy family and showed my first dog, a Dachshund, at the age of 5. I showed many family dogs, mainly hounds, until my adult showing career began in 1975, when I purchased an Irish Setter. Since then I have bred and/or owned CC winners in Irish Setters, Pointers, Italian Spinones, WSS and HWH Vizslas. I have also handled Curly Coated Retrievers, Irish Red & White Setters and H. Vizslas to top honours. I co-bred, with Christine Morgan, Cwsscwn Chintz, a HWH Vizsla, which took BOB at Crufts in 08 and 09. I first judged in 1989 and I award CCs in Irish Setters, Irish Red & White Setters and HWH Vizslas. I belong to a local shoot and work my dogs during the shooting season on pheasant and grouse. When judging I look for overall balance and type, as well as good conditioning, a dog that looks fit for purpose. I am looking forward to this appointment Anne Le Maitre I have been involved in Labradors since I was a child. I purchased my first show bred Lab in 1991 and started the Vannelmead affix. I own and have bred all 3 colours of Labs. I now show Labs and WSS. I am a member of 3 committees 2 open show and 1 breed committee. Karl O Connor I grew up with ESS and bought my first GWP in 1998. Since then I have made up 4 homebred Chs. I also work my GWPs. I started judging about 10 yrs ago and have judged most Gundogs at Open shows. I am on the GWP B list and have a diploma in dog judging. I have also judged several Hound breeds. I love to judge and appreciate the Working Gundog. My most recent breed is the Pointer. I continue to show and work GWPs, ESS and Pointers. Melanie Heaton I have owned Pointers since 1993. My first bitch was an orange/white from the Whipspan kennel. I started judging in 2000. I look forward to judging the Pointers at this show. Peter Sheppard I have been involved with the breeding and showing of Clumber Spaniels for over 10 years. We currently have 8 Clumbers at home (as well 2 Spinones), of which 5 of these Clumbers are home-bred puppies from 2 litters, both litters using a Swedish sire (one of which I own). I enjoy judging spaniels and I have deliberately chosen to specialise in the rare and vulnerable breeds.

Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the do s and don ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events. When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams. If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all. The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink. Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog. When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle. Keep the dog in the shade - take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse any entry. 18. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry form and must be Kennel Club registered. 19. No modifications will be made to the schedule except by permission of the General Committee of the Kennel Club, which will be followed by advertisement in the Canine press wherever possible. 20. Should any judge be prevented from fulfilling his/her engagement the committee reserve the right to appoint another judge. Exhibitors may withdraw from competition but no entry fees can be returned. 21. The Committee of cannot accept any responsibility for products advertised or sold by stand holders at the Show and exhibitors are reminded that grooming products on sale may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for exhibition. 22. Any owner, competitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog is required to remove as soon as possible any fouling caused by their dog(s) at any Kennel Club licensed show within the licensed venue and within the environs of that event including car and caravan parks and approaches. 23. The owner, exhibitor, handler or other person in charge of a dog at Kennel Club licensed events must at all times ensure that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue, including its environs, car and caravan parks and approaches.
